Abstract

Since the establishment of civilization, people are using agricultural elements as their basics for survival. After the initiation of the process domestication, humans have adopted numerous process and techniques for cultivation. During the process of commercial cultivation from the early times to till date, plant protection is an integral aspect. Day by day, much process has been adopted to manage the insect-pests infestation from crop filed. In modern days Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is the widely accepted process of insect-pest management, as the non-judicious and excess application of only chemical technique can lead to biomagnifications including other issues to the ecology which is hazardous to the environment as well as expensive. Presently conventional techniques are also in practice to control the insect-pests. Beside this, genetically engineered crop, also known as transgenic crop or genetically modified organisms (GMOs), can be a better option for insect-pest control in future. This technique is commercially used in India on cotton crops where highest pesticide is consumed to manage american boll worm. In this process, alien gene insertion has been carried out to make the crop species resistant to a target insect using the genetic engineering process. Still, there are some issues regarding the commercial application of GMOs as it may create health issues because of its transgenic properties. There is a huge opportunity that strategic research shall surely open a new horizon for the commercial use of GMOs in management of insect-pest.
